How to Print on Hats: A Beginner’s Guide from Novae Apparel

The easiest way to print an image onto a hat is by using sublimation. This method involves printing the design onto transfer paper and applying heat and pressure to transfer the design onto the hat. It produces a durable, high-quality, full-color design. Other methods include embroidery, heat transfers, and screen printing, depending on your needs and the type of hat.

Now, let’s explore the different methods for printing designs on hats in more detail.

How do I print an image onto a hat?

Sublimation is one of the most popular methods. You print your design on special transfer paper, place it on the hat, and apply heat and pressure. This creates a lasting, high-quality print that works best for multi-color designs. It’s an excellent option for our customizable baseball and performance caps at Novae Apparel. The sublimation process ensures that the design becomes part of the fabric, providing vibrant, long-lasting results.

How to put a logo on a hat?

There are various ways to incorporate a logo onto a hat. At Novae Apparel, we offer methods like embroidery, heat transfer, and screen printing.

• Embroidery involves stitching the logo directly onto the hat, giving a professional and durable finish, ideal for corporate branding.
• Heat transfer prints the logo on special paper, which is then applied to the hat using heat. This method is quick and works well for large batches.
• Screen printing involves applying ink through a mesh screen, making it a great choice for simple, bold designs.

Each method has its advantages, depending on the style and fabric of the hat. For example, embroidery works well on thicker fabrics, while heat transfers are excellent for finer, more detailed logos.

Can I screen print on a hat?

Screen printing is possible on certain types of hats, especially those with a flat surface like foam trucker hats or unstructured caps. At Novae Apparel, we recommend using five-panel hats for optimal screen printing results. This technique allows for bold, single-color designs, perfect for promotional products. It’s a cost-effective option for producing large quantities, especially for brands looking for simplicity and durability in their designs.

Can you heat press onto a hat?

Yes, heat pressing is a versatile option for applying designs to various areas of the hat, such as the front, sides, back, or brim. This technique is ideal for baseball caps und Leistungsobergrenzen, making it a preferred choice for clients looking to print logos, slogans, or detailed artwork. It’s an efficient method for producing large quantities, which makes it ideal for B2B wholesale clients looking for promotional hats. At Novae Apparel, we use high-quality materials to ensure that the heat-pressed designs are durable and maintain their vibrancy.
